Sir,
I thank you for your letter giving me the result of enquiry respecting my father, A Doudleay, right to Land for his Revolutionary Service — It probably escaped your particular notice that I enquired whether any one had drawn his Pension from Sept. 1838 to Febry 1839 when he died — And also whether my Mother Lois Doudleay was entitled to a Pension after his death until her death, about two years, I think, afterwards — If so, what steps are to be taken by her heirs to obtain it —
I am requested to enquire whether heirs of John Brown, who enlisted in the Western part of Massachusetts, are entitled to Land or Pension — The enquiries are very muddy
Yours
A. Doudleay

AMMI DOUBLEDAY R. 2057 BA-J/MSB Ami
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Ammi Doubleday, File No. R. 2057, and that of Hezekiah Waters, born 1730, died in 1813 in New Hampshire.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Hezekiah Waters or Watters. Such claims are the source of Revolutionary War data furnished by the Veterans Administration.
The record follows, without cost, of Ammi Doubleday, as found in the papers on file in the claims for pension under R. 2057, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Ammi Doubleday was born April 17, 1739, in Lebanon, Windham County, Connecticut. The names of his parents were not stated.
While residing in Lebanon, Connecticut, Ammi Doubleday enlisted in February, 1776, and served two months as private in Captain Munn's company, Colonel Wadsworth's Connecticut regiment. He enlisted again and served six months as private in Captain Clark's company, Colonel Sage's Connecticut regiment, was in the battle of White Plains and was discharged December 25, 1776. He enlisted in March, 1777, for a term of three years, served as corporal and sergeant in Captain Benjamin Throop's company, Colonel Huntington's Connecticut regiment, was at the burning of Danbury, the battles of Ridgefield and Dobb's Ferry, and was discharged at Morristown by Colonel Josiah Starr after having served the term for which he enlisted.
The soldier continued to reside in Connecticut for two or three years after the Revolution, then moved to New Lebanon, Columbia County, New York, where he lived until about 1816, thence to New Hartford, Oneida County, New York.

Anni Doubleday was allowed pension on his application executed September 11, 1858, at which time he was a resident of New Hartford, New York. He died there January 31, 1859.
The soldier married April 3, 1785, while living in New Lebanon, New York, Lois Tilden, of Coventry, Tolland County, Connecticut. The date and place of her birth and names of her parents were not given.
Lois Doubleday, as widow of Anni, applied April 27, 1859, aged seventy-six years, while living in New Hartford, Oneida County, New York, for pension which might have been due on account of the Revolutionary War service of her husband. Her claim was not allowed as she was not the soldier's widow at the time of the passage of the act under which she applied for pension. She died about the year 1861.
A. Doubleday, son of Anni Doubleday and his wife, Lois, was residing in Binghamton, New York, in 1855, his age not stated. No reference was made to other children of the soldier.
In 1858, one Seth Doubleday of Otsego, Otsego County, New York, stated that he was living in Lebanon, Connecticut, when Anni Doubleday enlisted. In 1859, one Cynthia Doubleday testified in Oneida County, New York, that she had known soldier's widow, Lois Doubleday, for forty years. No relationship was shown between either of those persons to the soldier or to each other.
Very truly yours

Dear Sir
By reference to published reports of the proceedings of Congress, I perceive that those widows of Revolutionary Pensioners, whose certificates expired and were returned March 4, 1841, are entitled to receive one year's more pay , and that the widows of those pensioners, whose husbands died after the passage of the act of '38, shall receive their proportion of such pension - or words to that effect -
Should there be any particular regulations in relation to those, before certificates have been returned - or to those who never received any certificate at all - will you be so good as to inform me?
I would also inform you that Mrs Lois Doubleday - widow of Sumner Doubleday, who was a Pensioner under the act of '32, who had her declaration made out, forwarded to Washington, filed and rejected, because he died after the passage of the act, has died since the papers were received and acknowledged by the Comr of Pensions - would her heirs be entitled to her share her pay under the late act or resolution?

Dear Sir I wish you would have the goodness to send me a copy of the direction which you have published and directed to be observed in making out the cert declarations of the soldiers who served in the Revolutionary war and the law making provision for the payment of pensions or the Act of June 7 th 1832 as there is none to be had in the County of Onondaga and I have a number of declarations to make out and it is attended with some difficulty to make them without the directions and very liable to make mistakes and this will cause the war Department the trouble of a reexamination of declarations & Card affidavits and an expense to the applicant who may apply for a pension therefore if the Secretary will send me the act of Congress of June 7 th 1832 with his direction for making out the declaration it will confer a favour on our old Revolutionary soldiers as well as on me and whenever any certificate of pension is granted to any soldier who I have made application for please to forward them to me
with great Respect I am Sir your obed t Servant
